Changing how your dog experiences being home all alone (and distracting them from ravaging your trash cans/shoes), this device is essentially a low-tech Dance Dance Revolution that helps expand their intelligence. Using a series of three light-up touch-sensitive pads, the system rewards them with food when they "learn" something new, e.g., a change in the lighting color, sequencing, or even sounds.

And for rampant spillers, the modular system (which fits both 12-ounce and 16-ounce cans) comes with a lid to keep you from fouling the party.
